Big Boats, Big Moves in Venezuela, and Democratic Leadership

Congressman Joe Courtney discussed the impracticality of the President's new battleship proposal, noting that the Navy hasn't built a battleship since 1944 and that carriers and submarines are more effective. He highlighted the threat from China's missiles and the importance of submarines. Courtney also criticized the lack of Navy officials at the announcement and the long design process. On Venezuela, he expressed skepticism about U.S. involvement, especially without clear end goals and the potential financial burden. He also touched on the leadership dynamics within the Democratic Party, praising Hakeem Jeffries' role in keeping the caucus together.
